I need a Barbarian!!!

Focus Person of the Day
Marion Barber

Marion Barber III was born June 10, 1983 in Plymouth, Minnesota
Marion went to college at the University of Minnesota.
He was the 4th round draft pick for the Dallas Cowboys in 2005.
Marion's Dad is a former New York Jets running back
His brother plays safety for the Houston Texans

Marian was nicknamed Marian the Barbarian for his running style. Jim Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator has called Marian "The hardest running back in the NFL to bring down"


In 2007 Marian was named to his first Pro Bowl despite the fact he was officially a back up running back to Julius Jones on the Cowboys. Julius was not picked to go.
In May of 2008 Marian signed a 7 year deal, $45 million with the Cowboys with a $16 million guarantee.
Go Cowboys!!!!
